How do you find a missing side of a triangle using SOH CAH TOA

Mathematics

3 0

Answer:

See explanation and attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

SOH CAH TOA is a mnemonic.

SOH means \sin \theta=\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}

CAH means \cos \theta =\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}

TOA means \tan \theta=\frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}

Given an angle and a side of a right angle triangle, you can use the appropriate ratio to find the missing side.

For instance, find x in the diagram in the attachment.

In this case the best ratio to use is TOA.

\tan 60\degree=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{x}

\implies x=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{\tan 60}

x=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{\sqrt{3} } =1

All the other ratio also follow the same pattern

NB: Your calculator in degree should give  \tan 60\degree=\sqrt{3}

The table shows the height, in centimeters, that a weight bouncing from a spring would achieve if there were no friction, for a
Paha777 [63]
Hello! For ease of calculations, we can identify the time it took for the weight to bounce back to the other direction, then the other, and then back to its original position by looking at the time it took for the weight to change from 0 to 25 to 0 to -25 then back to 0. This is one whole cycle of the weight.

By the time the weight first reached zero, 1.5 seconds has passed. By the third time it got to zero again, 7.5 seconds has passed. Therefore, one whole cycle of the weight is 7.5-1.5 = 6.0 seconds.

ANSWER: One whole cycle of the weight took 6 seconds.

as a contractor to make a hole 4 5/8 inches diameter. express the mixed number as an improper fraction.
san4es73 [151]

The mixed number as an improper fraction is 37/8

<h3>How to express the mixed number as an improper fraction?</h3>

The diameter is give as:

Diameter = 4 5/8

Next we convert the above number to an improper fraction

The numerator is calculated as

Numerator = 8 * 4 + 5

This gives

Numerator = 37

Hence, the mixed number as an improper fraction is 37/8

I need help with this problem please ​
Gwar [14]

Answer:

  (a) reduction

  (b) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The image figure A'B'C'D' is smaller than the original figure ABCD, so the dilation is a <em>reduction</em>.

Each of the points A'B'C'D' is half as far from the origin as the original points ABCD, so the scale factor is 1/2.

_____

Draw lines C'C and D'D. You will see they meet at the origin, which is the center of dilation. Then look at how far the points are along those lines. C' is one grid square diagonal along the line; C is 2 grid square diagonals along that line, so is twice as far from the origin. That is, C' is 1/2 the distance of C, so represents a reduction by a scale factor of 1/2.

The same distance considerations are observed along the line D'D. The point D' is the diagonal of a 2x1 rectangle from the origin (A distance of √5.) The point D is the diagonal of a 4x2 rectangle from the origin, so is twice as far. Once again D' is 1/2 the distance of D, so represents a reduction by a factor of 1/2.
